You don't show any photos looking down into the frame.
That "magazine which won't activate the hold-open" may actually be a damaged hold open, which will add cost to the pistol to fix or replace. Are you sure the hold open is actually present? Just curious since there are no images to verify.

Also useful would be a photo of the underside of the barrel where it meets the upper frame. It was mentioned that the barrel looked to be a different finish than the balance of the gun, (which it does in the photos) This is one of the areas where it is easiest to tell a reblue from a photo, as the halos on the stampings are most obvious here.
